To start of your Monday morning off right, here are a few events circulating this week, including a chance to have a discussion about diversity ideology in an era of colorblindness, a cultural feast provided by a broad range of organizations and a career fair for the College of Technology.
Monday: Did the U.S. Win or Lose in the Iran Nuclear Deal?
Student Center South, Houston Room
5 to 8:30 p.m.
The Energy Symposium Series will bring forward a discussion that will scratch the surface on the history and geopolitical position of Iran, the basics of the U.S. Department of State’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and the implications for energy in relation to the Iran Nuclear Deal.
The panel of speakers include: Sara Vakshouri, founder and president of SVB Energy International, Anthony Cordesman, who holds the Arleigh A. Burke Chair in strategy of Center for Strategic & International Studies and Cliff Kupchan, chairman and practice head of Eurasia Group— a leading global political risk research and consulting firm.
Chris Tomlinson, business columnist for the Houston Chronicle, will moderate the discussion.
Check-in begins at 5 p.m. at the Houston Room, with a reception to follow the panel discussion.
Tuesday: What Does Diversity Mean in an Era of Colorblindness?
Student Center South, Midtown Room

The Center for Mexican American Studies, the Department of Sociology and Center for Diversity and Inclusion will host a lecture for students and staff about diversity ideology in the 21st century.
Loyola University Chicago professor, David Embrick, will be the special guest at the event. Most of Embrick’s publications cover contemporary forms of racism. While most of his research is specific to inequalities in the business world, Embrick has published on race and education, the impact of school welfare and prisons on minorities and issues of sex discrimination.
